Ezekiel 39:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:1

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog
As he had been ordered to do before, and must still continue to do it: behold, I am against thee, O Gog;
which is repeated for the confirmation of it, and to inject terror into him; for terrible it is to have God against any: the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; (See Gill on Ezekiel 38:2), the Septuagint version adds "Ros" here as there.

Ezekiel 39:1 In-Context

1 "Human, prophesy against Gog and say, 'This is what the Lord God says: I am against you, Gog, chief ruler of Meshech and Tubal.
2 I will turn you around and lead you. I will bring you from the far north and send you to attack the mountains of Israel.
3 I will knock your bow out of your left hand and throw down your arrows from your right hand.
4 You, all your troops, and the nations with you will fall dead on the mountains of Israel. I will let you be food for every bird that eats meat and for every wild animal.
5 You will lie fallen on the ground, because I have spoken, says the Lord God.
